SBI Funds Management Announces Postal Ballot for Shareholder Approval
SBI Funds Management is conducting a postal ballot via remote e-voting from August 8 to September 6, 2026. Shareholders will vote on ratifying the ESOP 2018 plan, extending it to subsidiaries, appointing a secretarial auditor for five years, and adopting amended Articles of Association to grant special shareholder rights.
The announcement pertains to internal corporate governance and procedural matters (postal ballot, ESOP ratification, secretarial audit appointment, Articles of Association amendments) which are standard for listed companies and are unlikely to have a significant immediate impact on the company's stock price or business operations.
The announcement is a routine corporate action regarding shareholder approval through a postal ballot and does not contain information that would positively or negatively impact the company's financial performance or market position.

The company has engaged Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) to facilitate remote e-voting.
The remote e-voting period will commence on Saturday, August 08, 2026, at 09:00 a.m. IST and conclude on Sunday, September 06, 2026, at 05:00 p.m. IST. The results of the postal ballot, along with the Scrutinizer's report, will be communicated to the stock exchanges within the prescribed timeline.
The notice covers five special business items for shareholder approval: ratification of the SBI Funds Management Limited Employees’ Stock Option Plan 2018 (ESOP 2018) and its extension to subsidiary companies, appointment of M/s. N L Bhatia & Associates as Secretarial Auditor for five financial years (FY 2026-27 to FY 2030-31), adoption of amended Articles of Association to grant special rights to certain shareholders, and the grant of special rights pursuant to a governance agreement dated March 19, 2026.
